Thermal Vacuum Valve: Description and Operation

Types Of Vacuum Delay Valves

Vacuum Delay Valves (VDV) are used for a gradual application or release of vacuum to a vacuum-operated device to help control emissions. The four
valves currently in use are illustrated with an arrow to show the direction in which airflow is restricted. Note that, although each valve is named for a
given system application, it may be used elsewhere.
